​​"Giangrande is a very affecting Laura. The actress makes clear that the blow she receives late in the play is devastating, but she also, more subtly, suggests that it’s not a blow from which Laura will never recover." -Don Aucoin (The Boston Globe)

"Liza Giangrande – a standout in the Umbrella Stage Company’s recent production of “The Spitfire Grill” – makes Laura, while still as fragile as the miniature crystal figurines she collects, more grounded than other portrayals have shown her to be." - R. Scott Reedy (Broadway World)

"Giagrande inspiringly captures Percy’s climb back from the lowest point in her life to a new beginning. She never lets emotion get in the way of what has to be done, however, and immediately throws herself into clearing tables, sweeping the floor, and even manning the grill during a breakfast rush that an injured Hannah has to sit out." - R. Scott Reedy (Broadway World)

"If The Spitfire Grill is the heart of Gilead, then Liza Giangrande is its heartbeat. As Percy Talbott, Giangrande anchors the entire production with a performance that is equal parts tender, resilient, and utterly authentic. Giangrande’s joy in performing is palpable, and she pours her whole self into Percy. She is, without question, the reason to make the trip to see this production." - Kapiolani Kassal (Booked and Scene)

"Emma’s meddling reaches new heights in the case of Harriet Smith (a terrific Liza Giangrande), a young and ingenuous student from the lower classes, who becomes not just a friend but a project for Emma." - Don Aucoin (Boston Globe)

"As Harriet, Liza Giangrande has to walk a fine line between hysterically funny and pathetically histrionic. Giangrande rises above the sometimes two-dimensionality of her character, embracing Harriet’s more accessible, loveable, trusting side." - Shelley A. Sackett (Insights)

"Giangrande is indeed something special. She bursts to life as Jo from the opening dramatic play-within-a-play performed with her sisters and never lowers her flame. She has a glorious belt... and uses her songs to advance our knowledge of her character (When I listened to the recording of the original Broadway cast, I decided I preferred Giangrande's rendition over that of Sutton Foster.) Little Women stands on the shoulders of its Jo and Giangrande's shoulders are supporting the weight of that responsibility and then some." - Nancy Grossman (BroadwayWorld)

"Liza Giangrande commands the stage in the huge role of Jeanne d’Arc and wins the audience’s hearts with her intense portrayal. She runs the gamut of emotions in this role. Her phenomenal voice and acting prowess shine in this two-hour and forty-minute show." - Michael Hoban (Theatre Mirror)

"The title track is sung with a rock growl by Liza Giangrande, a charismatic actress with a dynamite vocal range...Giangrande was definitely born to do this." - Jeanne Denizard (The Sleepless Critic)

"The cast is headed by Liza Giangrande as Jeanne in a theatrical tour de force, the same level of performance she gave when she starred in “Little Women” for the Greater Boston Stage Company, a role that earned her an Elliot Norton Award nomination." - Rich Fahey (On Boston Stages)

Lizzie’s sister, played by Liza Giangrande, who gave a truly manic and unhinged performance, lending the play the comic relief I had hoped for. (Her rendition of ​“What the Fuck, Now, Lizzie?” was my breakaway favorite of the show)." - Sasha Patkin (New Haven Independent)
